Update on my poorly bred yorkie or schnauzer:
I actually wound up re-homing her to a good friend and neighbor. My puppy knew her and her dog. It has worked out great for everyone. My friend takes her on long walks right by our home 3-4 times a day. We get to see her, love on her and get lots of kisses every day. But then she happily runs back to her new mom and new dachshund brother to walk back to her new home. Because of mobility issues, I could not take her on long walks. So that helps get rid of some of her energy issues.
Her new mom also went to the same vet we used. So easy switch over of medical records.
She was microchipped when we had her spayed and that was also an easy change over to her new family. This has turned out to be a real blessing for everyone.
I still plan on getting another puppy in a few months, but this time I will personally go to the breeder. Talk to her about the temperament of the parents and look at the litter of puppies. And the puppy and I will chose each other. I plan to tell the breeder up front we can’t really care for a high energy dog. A normal active puppy is fine, but also want one that is happy to cuddle in our laps. I know the right puppy is out there for us. Please wish us luck. |
